[QUOTE="Bmmartin, post: 3556773, member: 98956"]I REALLY apologize for the late response - I've been loaded with taking my dad to appointments. Here are some of obverse pictures. The reverses aren't very spectacular - I don't think Krause made any big notes. For each group of photos: The first is the 1903-D The second is the 1891-D Here's my guess, without knowing what they look like The 1903 looks like it is an open curl making it a 512.2. The 1891 looks like it is a closed curl with many locks, so 512.3. However, I'm curious if there's design doubling on the 1891... Why I'm curious (besides the locks/curls): (1) There are two types of D's. One is wide, the other is narrow. (2) The distance between beads What I'm curious about: Are the "small" and "large" beads a change over time? Or are they associated with one of the varieties. If not, would that count as more varieties? Is the "wide" D associated with an open curl, "narrow" D with a closed curl? Thus, would it be possible to have a 512.3 hub paired with a 512.2 hub? (narrow D over a wide D) Again, sorry for the late response, might be late again, but let me know if you need more/better pictures!!! Thanks!!!
